Cylapocoris salvadorensis Carvalho

( Figure 61 , Table 1)

Cylapocoris salvadorensis Carvalho 1989a: 266 , Fig. 8 (n. sp.); Carvalho & Froeschner 1994: 490 (list); Schuh 1995: 22 (catalog); Gorczyca 2006b: 28 (catalog).

Diagnosis. Based on the original description provided by Carvalho (1989a) this species can be recognized by the dark castaneous head with the pale castaneous areas on sides of the clypeus, vertex and frons, the pale castaneous posterior lobe of the pronotum, except for its black lateral margins, the black hemelytron with the pale castaneous clavus, endocorium, basal portion of the embolium, and the apex of cuneus, the tibias with the three black annulations.

It appears most similar to C. marmoreus in sharing hemelytron with pale patches and tibiae with pale annulations ( Fig. 8 ). It differs, however, by the longer body (4.8 mm) (Carvalho 1989a).
